The metastamp's intro from tomchop

metastamp's Introduction

metastamp.py

Metastamp.py is a quick-and-dirty tool that recurses on a directory and extracts filesystem agnostic metadata from files it encounters. It displays them sorting records by date.

You can also specify a --domains parameter pointing to a domain list. Creation dates of the domains will be extracted (via whois) and added to the timeline.

Currently extracted timestamps:

PE compile date
RTF creation date
PDF creation date
Domain creation date (via whois)

Requirements

> cat requirements.txt                                                                                                 3827
pefile==1.2.10.post114
python-whois==0.5.2

You can install those by running pip install -r requirements.txt

exiftool cannot be installed via pip, and must be installed "manually". Installation is still pretty straightforward: https://github.com/smarnach/pyexiftool

Usage

Usage is pretty straightforward. Just point the tool to any directory:

$ ./metastamp.py .

If you have a text file with domains you'd like to map to the timeline, specify it with --domains FILE.

$ cat domains.txt
